Hi people! I have been not quite well this past week. I will be back soon with BearyBox sketches and prizes. I am so sorry I couldn’t post the last BearyBox sketch and card. I thought I should let you guys know about my absence.

BearyBox would like to give this week's winner My Mind's Eye Just Dreamy II small accessories.

Here is my card!

The matte silver paper is embossed and the swirls are glittered in a positive/negative technique. The embossed rectangular black flap is also glittered (the raised parts only). I love this card. Looks so much better in real life.

Can you recognize the vines and birds? Hmmm? I embossed a plain off-white cardstock using the folder above (cant recall the name), then I started to cut along the edges. When I was finally done cutting I used my water based markers and coloured the vines in small patches in brown and dark brown. The leaves were done in the same manner, I used three shades of green. Then to make it look as if I had water coloured them and to merge the patches, I used my paint brush and some water. TA DA! The water brought out so many more colours. I was surprised to see green and red coming out of brown! After the vines were dry I pasted them on to a distressed off-white flap. Then I used a green layer to pop up the card against the dull tan background. Oh I did some stitching :o) too!

I made this card for my mum’s colleague. He will be giving this to his sister who is expecting a baby boy real soon. I saw something like this stroller online and decided to make my own version of it. I hope you guys like it.

This week’s sketch is simple. Gives you more room to work your magic! You guys better take part in this week’s challenge because BearyBox would like to give this week's winner Swarovski Crystals in THREE different colours (40 pcs each)! Is that COOL or what!?

I made this card earlier this month. The first time I made this card it looked a LOT better. But I couldn't take a pic in daylight. I do have one using flash, just didn't have the heart to upload that pic. I made the card again just to show you guys. This is just a different form of THIS card. The colours just changed the entire feel of the card!

This week’s sketch is simple. I like this sketch a lot too. I will be using this again and again.

BearyBox would like to give this week's winner Sarah Kay's clear stamp! Do play along!

Here is my take on the sketch. I had to run a ribbon from behind the panels and tie it up in a bow on the right with a sentiment tag. Lost in my own world, I completely forgot about the ribbon and the tag. :o(

My folders are not here yet, I thought I would use Swiss dots on the white panels. I will make this card again when my folders arrive.

I hope you like this basket that Mel taught everyone how to make. I love how it turned out. This one is for one of my mum’s colleague who is getting married soon. He wanted to give something to his wife-to-be, something that will leave her speechless! So I thought I’d make one of Mel’s stuff as her stuff leaves me speechless. :o) Love ya Mel! Thanks a ton for the inspiration!

Here is one layout/wall hanging that I made for my mum’s colleague. He and his wife will be giving this to a couple who are expecting their first child. As I didn’t know the sex of the child, I decided to use all the baby colours; yellow, pink, blue, aqua, light purple etc.

The picture is not so good as I had to take it at night, had to use flash :(

I love this. It is too cute. All of the images are hand drawn. I saw them in a SU catalogue. All the duckies have been given a glossy look. Everything else has been glittered using White glitter.

Everything has been raised up a level to give it a 3D look.

The dangling animals at the bottom are kid’s stamps that are from here! Yes! I saw then at my local craft store and without thinking for a second I grabbed them! LOL

Hi folks!I was just getting bored and was playing around with Photoshop and I though why not create some designs. I used just shades of chocolate brown and aqua and designed these 6x6 images for you to download and use! Please keep in mind that these images are copyright and are not for resale. Share it forFREE. I would love to see your work if you use any of these. Credit me if you can :o) And if you guys like it, I have a few others to share. Colour and design suggestions are MOST welcome! Just click on the image to download a 300 dpi image which is excellent quality for printing purpose.

If you like these, then I will be uploading the Black & White series soon! Have fun!

BearyBox Card Sketch# 14 is one of my favourite sketches. I don't know why but I loved working with this particular sketch. BearyBox would like to give this week's winner our Biggest Board Every Element Chip Board from Fancy Pants design! You can visit the BearyBox’s blog and check out the awesome designs by my fellow designers.

So here is this week’s card sketch.

And Here is my card! I used two stamps from my Bag-O-Stamps, that Stef sent me. The flower is hand drawnand I outlined it with a white marker and applied white glitter on it. the mini polka dots are also made with a marker.

I especially took a pic in direct sunlight to show you guys how sparkly the card is! Still the pic didn't come out as good as I thought it would.
